Former pacer Ajit Agarkar says someone like R Ashwin not making it to the Indian playing eleven in the ongoing Champions Trophy, speaks volumes about how well the bowling has been for the defending champions.


'At the start of the tournament some of the batters were not in a great form, but once the tournament started all the batsmen are in good form and bowlers are doing well. All the five bowlers are in good form. A guy like (Ravichandran) Ashwin not making the eleven tells you how well the bowling unit is doing,' Agarkar said.

Ashwin, a seasoned offie did not make it to the playing eleven in both the games that India played. 'They (India) are one of the favourites because of the form the players have shown,' said Agarkar, who grabbed 288 wickets 191 in ODIs.

The former speedster also strongly believes that this is the best bowling attack in recent times, which has variety. 'As a combined attack, one of the best attacks we (India) had for a while. Even the ball has not swung in England, you got (Jasprit) Bumrah, Umesh (Yadav), variety is there, which helps the team always,' he added.
